Spanish Light by Stephen Grant A Novel

Fairly conventional, certainly as compared to what other philosophically inclined writers—Bruce Duffy, say, or Julia Kristeva—might have done with the same material.

Synopsis

Mat sees a world where the possibility of orientation is lost. Within a few hours, a future of endless material comfort is replaced with the prospect of one filled only with the cost of past excess. Yet it is when he sees only disaster that there is a spark of hope . . . So begins "Spanish Light" — a European tale of love, greed, and austerity set in England and Spain in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.
